Mile End Park

Mile End Park is a linear park of some 32 hectares and was created on industrial land devastated by World War II bombing. Some of this land is separated by roads, railways and waterways.

The Park follows the Regent's Canal from Victoria Park to Limehouse Basin, and is separated from the southern edge of Victoria Park by the Hertford Union Canal.

A plan existed from the end of the Second World War to create the park, part of a wider scheme to create several green routes connecting different areas of London to the River Thames, but extensive development did not begin until the end of the millennium. The Green Bridge, a pedestrian bridge over the Mile End Road, which bisects the Park close to Mile End tube station, opened in July 1999. The award winning bridge was designed by Piers Gough.
